Who wants a Padme novel?


If Del Rey was trying to make more of an effort to bring in the female readers, that would be a fantastic place to start...

No!!!!! No Padme novel! Padme is a desgrace to the female gender! She was either a spoiled hypocrite or a snobby do-gooder, and I don't know which is worse. And I say this all coming from the standpoint of a female fan!

Why do the Jedi have busts of the lost 20 anyways? I can see statues of famous Jedi - ones who died in great sacrifice, etc etc...but why honor those who took off?

I would love to see a Dooku book - I love his arrogance!

A Dooku book would have to be Lucento.

I think we'll see at least some Dooku&Qui-Gon in the Plagueis book, again. I don't think Dooku would get a hardcover of his own.

It should be Luceno. Or maybe Stewart, as a long shot.

A friend of mine suggested that you could have a book with Padme in which she discovers the harsh treatment of prisoners in a POW camp and decides to challange Palpatine or a fellow senator to stop the torture going on in the prisons and make them humane. Take a little from real life and you might end up with a real thought provoking novel.

A Padme novel would be doomed to fail.

but were they always 'great'? the lost 20 dont really imply that they were 20 masters that fell, just 20 jedi right? thats the impression i got anyway..

i am against a dooku book. you can throw info of him in any book as part of a flashback or something, but that's it.

you're right though - he is fairly arrogant..

Another cool novel would be a book about the Purge.

I love Dooku, so I am prejudiced here, so I really want a book about him.

Or I wonder if it'll be a book about the first days of the Rebellion?

Maybe it will be a novel on the Mysterious Darth Ruin, how he became the first of the Lost Twenty. praying

I'm going insane here!Everyone keeps talking aboiut this guy named Darth Ruin. First, that can't a real guy because the name has no originality. I would like to see where someon egot thjat name i'll tell you if it's a joke or has some cred. It will most likely be another II-IV gap book becuase we have TWENTY YEARS to fill. That's gonna be a good bit of books. I hope, however that they make it a Old Republic Era book. Maybe a actual Sith War novel? Or even older. Maybe WAY WAY back. I'm talking Naga Sadow back.... praying

How about a Luke/Mara/Ben novel by Zahn either pre or post-LOTF perhaps a sequel to Allegiance? It would be like Survivor's Quest but have a space battle or two. Ben could accompany his parents Luke and Mara on a mission perhaps hone his piloting skills unless this doesn't happen in LOTF.
